FOREVER

Well, it is Wednesday night and I am still at the office. I realized, that it has been a while, since I have posted anything on this blog.

The days have been filled with ministry, office work, putting out fires, dinners, gatherings, liturgies and wonderful MEETINGS!

I have also been busy securing items for our Evening Among Friends Encore Series with Dolly Parton, which is scheduled to take place on October 25, 2008 at 7 p.m. at Brock Auditorium in Richmond.

Today, I was able to secure the deal with Makers Mark Bourbon, as they will be making speciality bottles for our event. They will be dipping the bottles in pink wax and we will auction these bottles off at a variety of locations throughout Lexington and Madison Counties.

Today, I also met with our caterers and began the "outline" plan of what I wish to "envision" for the VIP party which will be held immediately after the performance and the MEET N GREET party which will be held BEFORE the performance. SO MANY DETAILS!!!!

Also today, the printed tickets arrived for the 600 plus VIP's that will be attending the gala!

Last night, I had a wonderful gathering at my home with the "OLD" parish council (those members whose three year commitment has now expired) and the "NEW" parish council (those members who now will begin their three year commitment) It was a wonderful evening of food, fellowship and time together. I thoroughly enjoy both the Parish Council and the Finance Council. I used to dread such meetings, but the more I grew in security of my own position as Pastor and the more I understood how these two bodies function, it became a joy to spend quality time each month with these individuals. It also amazes me, how much time people are willing to give to me, their pastor, their church etc.. I truly am grateful for the sacrifices that individuals have made on behalf of their stewardship; their offering to our Church.

THE IPHONE has been updated, however, a MAJOR glitch has occurred in the syncing of the IPHONE with OUTLOOK EXPRESS. Outlook express has all of my calendar contacts. And this "Glitch" is occurring all throughout the world. HOWEVER, my IT guy has solved it.....so, whoever wants the "IN"...send some $$ for our church..LOL

Anyway, off to do more work. Thanks for reading.
